Our objective was to measure the systemic absorption of lecithin-emulsified {Delta}5-phytosterols and phytostanols during test meals using dual stable isotopic tracers. Ten healthy subjects underwent two single-meal absorption tests in random order two weeks apart, one with intravenous dideuterated {Delta}5-phytosterols and oral pentadeuterated {Delta}5-phytosterols and the other with the corresponding labeled stanols. The oral/intravenous tracer ratio in plasma, a reflection of absorption, was measured by a sensitive negative ion mass spectroscopic technique and became constant after 2 days. Absorption from 600 mg {Delta}5-soy sterols given with a standard test breakfast was 0.512 ±0.038% for sitosterol and 1.89 ±0.27% for campesterol. The absorption from 600 mg soy stanols was 0.0441 ±0.004% for sitostanol and 0.155 ±0.017% for campestanol. Reduction of the double bond at position 5 decreased absorption by 90%. Plasma T1/2 for stanols was significantly shorter than that for {Delta}5-sterols. We conclude that the efficiency of phytosterol absorption is lower than reported previously and critically dependent on the structure of both sterol nucleus and side chain.
